Battle of the Snap Callers

Barry Russell

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

There were roughly 100,000 chips in the pot on a flop of 4♣6♦7♠.

Mykhailo Lendel, in the big blind, checked to Kartik Ved on the button, who checked behind to bring in the turn.

Lendel led out for 30,000 on the J♥ turn, but Ved raised to 100,000. Lendel snap-called.

When the J♣ landed on the river, Lendel fired again for 265,000, putting Ved all in. This time, Ved snap-called.

Lendel tabled Q♣7♦ for two pair, sevens and jacks, but it was no match for Ved's trip jacks. Ved revealed A♣J♦ and scooped the pot.
